I have learnt to really listen to the older boys and take in all the feedback from them. The Coaching staff have been good to me and have taught me a lot. I have just been taking everything on board.

What have you focused on over the pre-season?

I have focused on my overall fitness to be honest. Pre-season is the time to get fit, so In have just put my head down and have been working hard.

You are a local junior, so is this opportunity a dream come true?

It is a dream come true having the opportunity to train full-time. Growing up and playing for Bankstown Bulls who have been good to me and coming through the grades here at the club, is really rewarding.

What has Des expected from you?

He has wanted me to focus on my game awareness and my work under fatigue. Fitness has been a real area of my game that needs improving, so coming in every day and working hard and doing the things he wants me to do under fatigue, is what he has expected from me. I have been trying my best to make me happy.
